Across the world, កាំង (Kang , Khang , Kaing ) is a common predominantly male, but scarcely girly given name. The forename កាំង is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Vietnam, where it is quite a common male name, Indonesia, where it is quite a common predominantly masculine, but very seldom female name, and Brunei, where it is quite a common male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. More prevalently, កាំង is the last name as well as the forename.
កាំង is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Meng Kang , the Water Margin character; Kang , the The Simpsons character; Wu Gang ; Kang Ye-bin , the fictional character, SKY Castle and Kang , the fictional character from Star Trek, Flashback, among other works.
